Deutsche Bank (DB) profits plummet 98%

Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank

There's been a great deal of discussion the past few years about European Banks and marginal risk vs. capital metrics, balance sheets, a plethora of non-performing loans, and corporate governance.

Also, investors have openly questioned the lack of stringency and the validity with respect to the European Union's bank stress tests. The EU relies upon each bank's internal models to judge if capital requirements are adequate; the US Fed uses their own proprietary models and the Fed stress tests are deemed more transparent and rigorous.
